Sacramento, CA — In December of 2014, 51-year-old John Madison Reyes, was attempting to cross the street when he crossed paths with “hero cop,” Sacramento County sheriff’s Deputy Paul “Scotte” Pfeifer.

Deputy Pfeifer has been hailed by the department for his heroism in the past. He’s received several awards, including the department’s highest honor, the Sheriff’s Gold Medal of Valor.

However, along with this sheriff’s heroism comes a dark history of violence and abuse — specifically using his flashlight as a means of doling out street justice.
